This cosy and comforting bottle blends dolcetto and nebbiolo grapes, using the nebbiolo skins to give this wine a unique touch.

The Italian vino is said to be bursting with punchy bright red fruits making for a sweet and tasty flavour on the palette. This fruitiness comes from the dolcetto grapes, grown in the Barolo terrier, adding complexity to its structure. Bold but dry, it’s a perfect wine for enjoying alongside meaty warming dishes, such as ragu pasta or cottage pies.

Should you enjoy medium-bodied red wines, this bottle is sure to go down a treat – just make sure that you don’t miss the 25 per cent discount, which runs from Thursday (22 February) to Monday (26 February). The saving takes the price of this bottle down to just less than £15 – we’ll raise a glass to that.
